Defend Democratic Korea!

Andy Brooks makes a point

by

Comrades
and friends denounced the latest provocations of US imperialism at a solidarity
meeting in central London last Saturday evening organised by the UK Korean
Friendship Association (KFA). Dermot Hudson, the KFA’s official delegate in
Britain, opened the discussion on the latest imperialist moves against
Democratic Korea which include new United Nations economic sanctions against
the DPR Korea and provocative war-games in the occupied south designed to rack
up tension on the Korean peninsula. And NCP leader Andy Brooks spoke about the
need to mobilise support for socialist Korea in Britain and condemn British
involvement in the current US military exercises and deployment of the air
power in south Korea.

But Democratic Korea is not defenceless
and this was seen in the first of two short films from north Korea that were
screened at the meeting. The skill and determination of the Korean People’s
Army was displayed in Arms of Korea while
the superiority of the socialist system was seen in Pyongyang –City of Free
Education.

A solidarity message was endorsed and
support for a picket outside the US embassy in London called for at the close
of the meeting.
